It's a twilight and a dawn: a new birth. 
 

A vital, wide-ranging album, with which Clara Luciani confirms as much as she renews her talent. If we knew the power of this musician, songwriter and composer - Sainte Victoire (2018, quadruple platinum) and Cœur (2021, also quadruple platinum), crowned female artist at the 2020 and 2022 Victoires de la musique awards - we discover, here, the roots of her Madonna-like elegance. Mon sang, her third album, is both elegant and popular - a collection of instant classics that puts family at its heart, and invites us to be tender. The story behind the album is quite obvious: in January 2023, at the end of a tour of over 100 concerts (including 2 sold-out Bercy concerts), Clara Luciani learns that she is pregnant. She decided to make the next 9 months a haven for writing and composing. Initially writing dozens of visceral songs on her own, she called on her musical family to join her in sculpting this intimate material. SAGE, her long-time partner, and Pierrick Devin, already present on Cœur, join her in a studio that looks like a home. With them, she fine-tunes the compositions and arrangements that will shape this new organic, sculpted album - which the legendary Mark Spike Stent (Harry Styles, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga ... ) will finish mixing. An album whose musical genealogy can be traced back to the generous, high-end pop of the Beatles, Lana del Rey and Françoise Hardy. A music that borrows from the past and looks to the future, to speak of the ties - family, friends, lovers - that bind us. For in her new songs, Clara Luciani confides her joy of loving - her child, her friends, her parents (Roule, Ma mère) - as well as her worries about the passage of time (Interlude), the passion that consumes us (Tout pour moi, Cette vie, Forget me not in a duet with Rufus Wainwright), and sometimes separates us (Romance). It's a mix of ballads (Chagrin d'ami) and epic flights (Cette vie, Mon sang), a meeting between the fervor of a modern woman (Allez, Courage) and her lucidity (Seule, Tant pis). In short, a profound collusion of melancholy and vitality, inviting us to dance with our memories, our legacies and our sorrows. An album that touches everyone's heart, like those wind-swept plains, ever new yet ancestral.
